Fire up the lawyers.
Hayley reported this for the Business Insider - she always has good coverage - this is about Western Forge and Ideal.
Here is a blurb:
Sears is suing another Craftsman tool vendor it says is cancelling its contract with the retailer and refusing to fill purchase orders.
In a lawsuit filed this week, the retailer says the Illinois-based Ideal Industries repeatedly assured Sears that it would extend its supplier contract beyond April, when it was set to expire, but then on April 28 "abruptly" informed Sears that it would stop supplying the company with tools.
The move ended a 50-year relationship between Sears and its supplier Western Forge, which Ideal acquired in 2010. The Chicago Tribune first reported on Sears' lawsuit.
